Abstract

Unlike in the areas of process automation and condition monitoring, current wireless technologies cannot be used for many closed-loop control applications in factory automation. These applications require shorter cycle times, precise synchronicity in the microseconds range and higher reliability with low packet error rates. Furthermore, established Industrial Ethernet communication systems will not be completely replaced in the near future. Therefore, a wireless communication system for factory automation also requires seamless integration into existing networks.

Keywords: Industrial Ethernet Closed-loop control Wireless communication Cascaded network ParSec Latency
